Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, this STEAM book will inspire curiosity about gravity through real-world examples. It features a hands-on STEAM challenge that is perfect for makerspaces and takes students step-by-step through the engineering design process. Make STEAM career connections with career advice from actual Smithsonian employees working in physical science fields. Explore advanced science topics for older readers with this STEAM book that is ideal for secondary students or ages 10-14.
Alyxx Meléndez has written 17 books and plays for Teacher Created Materials. The first of these was All Aboard the Interstate, which was by far the most fun to research and write.
Alyxx received the Creative Voice Award from TCM in 2021. Alyxx is a poet at heart, and has written a handful of original songs supported by some charmingly mediocre noodling on the piano and guitar. Unfortunately for readers, these will never be published.
